Thanks for this, Liqih!

Just placed my order. Judging by the sound demos,
you have a real nice alternative to a dedicated FM synth. I don't use FM that much, but do like some of the sounds. To that end, I was trying the demo of Sytrus. If your soundset is 1/2 as good as I think it is, you saved me about $130USD. ($180 - $50)

Sounds like a deal!

go easy with EVE!

Sytrus is going to have to wait-a LONG time now!

Gorgeous sounds in this set. The price is well worth it, congrats to Rory. Has he done any other sound design that we might have heard of?

Cheers

Hey db,

I am Rory

Glad you like the set mate. This is my first commercial venture into sounds in this way, although I've been doing music and sound design for TV for nearly 5 years now.

I'm hoping to do more HQS sets for EVE soon

Oh YOU! Big deal!

Just another KVR regular!

Of course I've seen you around here as Rozzer about a million times. Do you specialize in FM patches? Plz feel free to do more.

Hmm..how about a set of goofy/crazy cartoon sounds for
Eve?

Something like the 'sproingggg!' sound when the cartoon characters eyes pop out of his head?

I'm hoping to do more HQS sets for EVE soon

Tres

mon ami! Any general ideas for a set theme?
Maybe you should just work your way through vintagesynth.com?

BTW-Small criticism: why does every vsti insist on putting several EP's in the sound sets?

There's nothing wrong with the EP's in your set, just that I think many of us already have a decent ep (Lounge Lizard here). The slots would be better filled with
more original stuff. Just a pet peeve of mine, no offence.

Cheers

Hehe, I'd love to! Let's see how this one sells first

Can't imagine the market for that one being huge

Well, my Access Virus is sitting here blinking at me. I know the mere mension of Virus sends people into a froth around here, but I bet I could make a kick-ass soundset out of it

We've actually just licenced some sounds from hollowsun.com. I'm working on a vintage soundset that should be available soon at a nice price

Having said that, I'd quite like the HQS series not focus so much on 'vintage'. I think WilliamK's FK series covers vintage pretty well, so I'd to take HQS in other directions.

Hehe, I'm kind of with you there, but believe it or not... some people still play electric pianos

(and Frequency Modulation does do rather fine ones!).

A market of one, maybe?

A Virus soundset for Eve would have to be spot on. Not kinda,sorta, but nail the V. sound exactly!

Vintage or modern, I mostly look for something unique.
For example, do a set of say Microwave, not yet another Roland clone.

I've nothing against ep's, use 'em myself. Just that it sometimes seems like they are used as 'filler' in soundsets.

I imagine these sounds are excellent.

However as an owner of FM7, Sytrus and Yamaha's plg-150DX I think I've got FM pretty much covered !

What's the next HQ soundset ?

Haven't decided yet.

I thought about doing a Virus soundset, or maybe some kind of sound-design/atmosphere set along the lines of Distorted Reality.....

I'm open to ideas.

I posted this yesterday in the cafe and didn't think of posting it here till just now but it was done with one of the presets from the new HQS soundset (Verklarte) and just one instance of EVE - all in one take without additional effects. Hope it does justice to EVE's layering capabilities - it can make one instrument and patch sound like an orchestra.

Sorry if it's a bit long - I actually kept it short

Microcosm 1

It's not dance music - more modern classical with a hint of jazz

Well, commercially a Virus soundset would obviously be dynamite.

Do you own any other hardware worth sampling?

Rozzer · Post by **Rozzer** » Thu May 27, 2004 10:16 pm

aMUSEd - nice piece! And all one patch too

floyd - I don't have a huge hardware collection myself, but I can beg/borrow quite a few interesting pieces, so we'll see

What I'd really like is a nice big modular system to play with. Maybe a Roland 100M or something similar

(I can dream right?)
